It looks like rain for at least some of the weekend. I don't have one, but will anyone camping over be able to bring a gazebo jobby? And what about BBQ - if some of us bring a disposible one along, plus some hot dogs etc. we could have some warm grub... but is there catering at the rally?

Oh yes, his BBQ's are alomost as legendary as his ability to drink most people under the table!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

I trust my tent is waterproof! Anyone mind if I put my ZX with the BX's or do I have to go and park with other ZX's - if there are any!?

Looks like I've got to bring the family! Missus, daughter, grandkids. :?

I love em to bits but was hoping to have a "free" day. My missus likes to stop every half hour. So I'm leaving at 8 and hoping to make it before 5 :lol:

Does anyone know if there will be any services available? i.e. Sphere checking/recharging? In which case I might bring 1/2 dozen down with me and have them checked over.

Well my final plans are that if it's:

1) Absolutely cacking it down I won't go.

2) Raining on and off, I'll take the Alfa and an extra cover for the tent

3) Unseasonally sunny, I'll take the TVR up seeing as it just passed it's MOT first time! :shock:


Any one else heading up from down south? I heard Simon say he was heading up but heard nothing definate.

Well, seeing as it's been persisting it down here every day for the last 2 weeks.......I havn't been able to get Monica as polished and shiny as I'd have liked.......but at this moment in time, I'm still coming!
Weather forecast for Sunday actually loooks quite good for the "corridor" between Lancs and East Anglia, so I'm hoping for good weather throughout my day! 8)

I'm also bringing down a couple of boxes full of assorted BX "bits", which I'm hoping to be able to offload to Show attendees, for a couple of quid here and there. Obviously any members in dire need can pick things up at a ridiculously discounted rate!!! :wink:

See y'all Sunday morning!

Polished? If I wake up in time the TZD might get a jet-wash! It'll be covered in dead flies by the time I get there either way...
